Hello, Voyagers!
We hope you're enjoying Hell Deck so far! It has been about three weeks since launch, and we sincerely thank everyone in our community for sharing your gameplay experiences and valuable feedback.
This update brings a variety of quality-of-life improvements, including the card upgrade preview feature that many of you requested. We've also buffed seven cards, one card upgrade, consumables, and relics, while making adjustments to the overall difficulty.
In particular, while we have slightly eased the early difficulty of Chapter 3, we have preserved the challenging difficulty and sense of accomplishment that come with taking on the Ascension levels.
With this update, try out the newly buffed and reworked cards to build stronger and more enjoyable decks, and challenge yourself to reach higher Ascension levels!
Thank you again for your continued support of Hell Deck. We hope you enjoy the update!
Please see below for the full patch notes.
